INTRODUCTION
The people at Cambridge SoundWorks hope you enjoy
your new high-performance SoundWorks Radio 735.
Your new radio has great FM stereo sound and plays
useful AM band stations. It stores 16 FM station presets
along with 8 AM station presets. The large 32-character
display and full-function remote makes radio operation
easy from across the room.
The SoundWorks Radio 735 displays Radio Data Service
(RDS) FM station text.
An automatic dimmer function reduces display brightness
in dark rooms while maintaining good legibility in bright
light. An internal long-life power cell maintains the current
time accurately for many years. By inserting a 9V battery
(not supplied), a user ensures that an activated wakeup
function will work even during a power outage.
A front input jack allows easy connection of audio program
sources (like portable digital music and cassette players).
A convenient JOG button lets you select from a variety of
secondary adjustments (Bass and Treble, Snooze time
and Text display mode, among others).

GETTING STARTED
Remove the SoundWorks Radio (See A) from its protec-
tive polybag and place it in your preferred location. The
Radio’s Tone alarm sound and bass output will be re-
duced if the Radio is placed on a compliant, soft surface.
Connect the AM antenna (See B): To prepare the an-
tenna (1), fold the base (2) and snap it into place (3).
Position the AM antenna (4) in any out-of-the-way site,
preferably at least 8 inches apart from the Radio. Insert
the AM Antenna’s miniplug into the Radio’s rear panel
minijack marked AM ANTENNA (5).
Rotate the AM antenna to achieve the best signal for
individual AM stations.

Connect the cord by inserting the SoundWorks Radio’s
AC plug into a convenient outlet.
The AC cord is also the Radio’s primary FM antenna. It
will function better if at least 50% or more of its length
follows a straight line (See C). Check to make sure
the FM antenna switch on the rear panel of the Radio
enclosure is in the INT (internal) position (factory default).
If desired, the external FM antenna can be connected and
used instead of the internal antenna (See D). Connect
the external antenna to the “F”-type connector of the rear
panel. Set the FM antenna switch to EXT (external).

Setting the Clock
You can adjust the current time whether the radio is in
Standby or On.
Just press the TIME ADJUST BUTTONS (next to the symbol)
on the right hand side of the display (see E).
Note: The current time can only be adjusted from the
Radio’s faceplate. The remote control can adjust the
wakeup time setting, but not the current time.
Tone Alarm Backup Battery
For 48 hours of alarm function backup during an AC
power failure, obtain and install a 9V battery in the radio’s
battery compartment. Release the battery cover, attach
the battery and restore the cover.
If either alarm is set to activate (music or tone wake-up)
and the power fails, the battery sounds the tone alarm
at the appropriate time. Press POWER on the radio to
silence the alarm. Remove the battery if the unit is un-
plugged for more than 24 hours. Replace the battery after
30 minutes of emergency tone alarm operation (see F).

Selecting the Radio Bands
Pressing the FM1/2 button cycles through two banks

stations in Preset bank FM2 (see H).
If you switch from another mode to FM/AM, the radio
will return to the last Preset bank used (from Standby,
PLAYER or from the AUX input). Pressing the FM1/2
button during FM operation selects the next present
bank (FM1, FM2).
Pressing the AM button selects the AM radio band.
The AM band has one Preset bank.

Tuning Stations
Autotune Method 1: Press the SEEK button (remote
or radio face) to automatically nd the next station or
higher frequency (see I).
Autotune Method 2: Press and hold either TUNE
button to seek the next station (the button seeks
down, the button seeks up) (see J).
Manual Tune: To nd a specic frequency, tap the
appropriate TUNE button ( or ).
Storing Stations in PRESET Banks
Press the FM1/2 button to choose the desired Preset
bank (FM1, FM2) or choose the AM radio band. Tune to
the desired station. Press and hold the desired PRESET
button until a short tone is heard. The station is stored
(see K).
When an FM frequency is stored on a Preset, the current
Stereo/Wide/Mono and RDS Text setting is also stored. When the
Preset is tapped, the stored setting will override the JOG menu
setting. Storing a weak FM stereo station in MONO will insure
cleaner reproduction under varying reception conditions. You can
also elect to store FM stations with RDS text you do not wish to see in
STATIC or NO TEXT mode.
